You know what’s kind of weird?
…When people say they can’t do any of their own hobbies because they have kids.
I get it if you’re into kinky or extremely dangerous hobbies BUT…
- I’ve always shared my hobbies with my kids. When I was really into making music, I gave my toddler at first Toca Music and then eventually their own iPad with GarageBand and we would just make songs together.
- When I wrote apps, I taught them Scratch. I’d work on myself and they’d do their own kiddie stuff next to me.
- Same with working out, I grab the weights while my kids do calisthenics and then we go jogging together.
- We read books together. Sometimes the same ones or different ones.
- We go out to eat and try different cultural foods. You name the cuisine my kids have eaten and probably love it from Armenian to Senegalese.
Make your kids a part of your hobbies (don’t force it on them) and your lives will be more richer for it.
Trust me ;)
